With the non-modal Patterns Editor you can still activate other windows, work with rearranges, add new patterns and continue to navigate in your form design. ### New Features and Minor Fixes The following list contains details of fixes and minor features that we have implemented since the last release: #### Lasernet Config Server - There is now support for Windows User Authentication as a login for SQL Server from the Lasernet Config Server, by leaving username and password empty in Lasernet Licenser Manager -> Config SQL Server. - We have excluded Grab and Templates objects from being deployed to the Lasernet Service. #### Lasernet Developer - The largest allowed file size for resources in the configuration is now limited to a maximum of 25 MB.
